Architect Designs a Breathtaking Home Connected to Nature (House Tour)

When an architect designs a breathtaking home connected to nature, the results can be mesmerising. Six Square House by Young Projects is one such example, and this house tour, which takes viewers inside and documents how an architect designs a breathtaking home, captures the contemporary home and surrounding landscape in all its glory.

Nestled deep into the large property, this house is defined by half a dozen cubes, which tesselate from a centre point, resulting in a dynamic piece of architecture set amid a lush garden. As architect Bryan Young says, “the gabled modules are arranged to align roof ridges and create continuity from one module to the next.” The contemporary form is connected to nature in a myriad of ways – the cubic volumes feature openings, which act as conduits to the garden; apertures from within frame the landscape; and the internal courtyard captured in the house tour features a garden bed beneath a timber pavilion. It is holistic and intentional – the type of effect achieved when an architect designs a breathtaking home.

The house tour takes viewers inside where the interiors are bright and connected to nature. The living area unfurls to the east and the kitchen sits to the west along the home’s central spine. Up above, the lines of the hybrid roofscape can be traced across the ceiling. Lofty and bright, the sense of openness is unexpected in comparison to the strict, geometric exterior. Bryan speaks to this, saying, “if each of the six volumes can be read as autonomous elements from the outside, from the inside, you begin to realise that in fact they’re conjoined in a very interesting way.”

The pared-back materiality enhances the home’s tranquil feeling. In the kitchen, there is light timber cabinetry and natural stone benchtops, and the furniture and artwork add a characterful layer. Architect Noah Marciniak comments on the interior design, saying the restrained material palette is fitting for a summer house in the Hamptons. Above all, it illustrates how an architect designs a breathtaking home.

There is a lot to digest at Six Square House – from its dense, architectural detail and expertly placed apertures to the ever-changing roster of art and design – yet it is inherently connected to nature, as seen in the house tour. As a meticulously designed and delivered residence, it exemplifies how an architect designs a breathtaking home through its many considered outcomes.

I'm in love with the landscaping. Those hydrangeas are otherworldly! Somehow it's unexpected but perfect for the house and the setting. I love the minimalism of the house and how they've struck a perfect balance with the curved furnishings, proportions, and warm neutrals. A dreamy project.

[littlenest]

The landscaping is magnificent and quite fitting for the setting.

This video has finally delivered my request, more coverage of the house rather than just videos of homeowner or architect yapping all video. Thanks editor.

[nikkilogan]

I can feel the sense of calmness, the tranquility of this home. Would love to live in a space like this. Thanks Local Project

I feel like every modern day residential architect dreams of having a house like this in their portfolio. The house-shape silhouette clad in thin wood planks is a very elegant typology, and Bryan pulled it off perfectly. Especially the unique touch of gently bending the roof planes - the affect on the interior space adds a welcomed playfulness against the relentless orthogonality. Also, a shout out to the GC Taconic Builders.

Slower transitions like this are far better to take time to appreciate the house 👍

[marie-lauregauthier]

It's probably one of the best video I've seen from The Local Project. Congratulations on this beautiful project!

[pkgamma]

To be able to live in a place like this is truly my dream. It doesn't need to be big or fancy in any way, but rather, a minimalist design like this, and having the connection with nature is very important for me. One day.

[Hernameispamela]

I would absolutely LOVE to live in a place like this! So beautiful and thoughtful to quality of life! The architect did a great job 👏🏼

[cherylrleigh]

Absolutely breathtaking! This ingenious design should stand as an exemplar for 21st-century architectural innovation.

The first time i discovered this Architect was through a project that he did in the Dominican Republic this house was so crazy the roof and the landscaping everything was wow. So glad to see another from him.

[artmichel]

Mr. Young, I have never been a fan of modern design but the Six Square house is my first "converter" as I am so impressed. You are to be commended for your work of art. Thank you for not just involving nature but truly engaging in her presence.

[luckyleaprealestate]

i like and love modern home and nature thank you for videos

[donnalussier]

The architect has the right to describe his beautiful, intentional and purposeful design of such an exquisite project. Bravo!

[doggy]

I absolutely hate the pretentiousness of architecture- "there's an open lawn condition". There's a yard. That said, this guy rocked it. It's a really amazing design.

I've worked in architecture and construction, and the wood roof, which I'm assuming there's some underlying mechanism to shed the water, probably a disguised built in gutter, is really very cool.

I liked how they didn't build some 15, 000 feet monstrosity on that very expensive real estate in the Hamptons. It's a fairly small house for that plot of land and while utterly modern, it has pitched roof and wood cladding that is reminiscent of old barns in the countryside. Yet, inside, you have these large volumes (love the one near the kitchen) and windows that frame lovely landscaping perfectly. The house feels light and airy and, yes, definitely, tranquil.

This is probably the 1st video I've watched on this channel that I deeply did not enjoy or take anything away from the home. The Thumbnail was the best part of the video.

[consueloamatmatus]

Wow. The most beautiful house I’ve ever seen!

[domi]

those hydrangeas make the house and surroundings look like those futuristic movies we see time and time again- the gardens and landscaping always have these types of flowers lining or bunched up at places in a very vast clean serene place. you are a genius at designing this house.

What a deserving individual to be showcased!
